Why go to the library?

I never required any convincing, but the creators of this video ask a perfectly good question. With so much information available online, why go to the library at all? The video below about the efforts of Aarhus Public Library in Denmark suggests a few possibilities for remaking the space, incorporating new kinds of media so that "the book is no longer the library's brand." The video has a certain National Geographic feel to it, but then again, the library stacks are unknown to too many people. Here's to success.
